Hi Geoff
My apologies for not replying sooner
I was in Sydney yesterday and I am now trying to filter through all my emails
Well, well, well - that is a little embarrassing isn’t it…???
I actually pointed that out to the manufacturer when we received the samples, but unfortunately we had not seen the final product before they were distributed….that’ll teach us for trusting that the changes would be made, hey!
I tell you what…they truly are a ‘special’ edition now aren’t they!!
I will look into what we can do about it Geoff, but unfortunately, I do not think there will be a lot we can do.
Thank you for bringing it to my attention - I will now go and behead the embroiderers!!
Have a Merry Xmas and a Great New Year
Regards
Jen
